Imperfection

This morning while we were meditating, a Mu walked past the windows and down the garden path. Muuuu mom said. She is pretty predictable.

I don't talk as much. Therefore I noticed when the Mu turned around and stretched that it has a little white blaze on its chest. Ahh, I thought, it is like Suzuki Roshi said, the white screen in your mind will always have some stain on it. Same with black. They like to think of themselves as black cats, but there are always a few white hairs. So nobody should be too proud.
